Description

Seems ​https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/663 is back. The latest builds with GDAL 3.3.0 seem to once again not support LERC compression, most likely due to missing internal libtiff. This also affects the latest builds of QGIS 3.18.2 which (I believe) uses the 3.3.0 runtime.

Example error message from gdalinfo on command line below. QGIS fails less elegantly, just failing to open LERCed TIFF files with no explanation. 

Warning 1: GS0327-dem_cliplerc.tif: GS0327-dem_cliplerc.tif:LERC compression support is not configured
ERROR 1: GS0327-dem_cliplerc.tif: Cannot open TIFF file due to missing codec.
gdalinfo failed - unable to open 'GS0327-dem_cliplerc.tif'.
